Well I had a good test today... The paper grocery sacks full of apples each yielded a gallon of juice..
The problems I encountered was this... Keeping the pumice contained... So heres what I'm going to do...
I will look for a BIAB bag thats some what course, they should be able to be comfortably put in a 5 gallon bucket...
I do have one but the mesh is so fine... Even the juice wouldn't come out!! I fought with the cheese cloth too... no go for me..
The garbage disposal gizmo worked great! The press, along with some mods from your recommendations, works very well... I will coat the whole press with marine varnish once I'm done this season.. Again, there'll be a few more pictures once I get the bugs worked out...
I spent about 2 hours to get 3 gallons... I was wondering... how do you know when you've gotten enough juice from the pumice? A good W/E with this build... DV8 from the norm! Sneezles61
